emulator Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 OK...loaded question, but do we have any ideas as to when the beta for Retrospect/Windows will be open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 We haven't even started working on 8 for Windows. We have a lot of work left on 8 for Macintosh before we start WIndows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlauren Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Can we use the Retro8/Mac client with a 7.6/Windows server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgs Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Just curious what the status on version 8 for Windows is? Development started? I keep seeing updates for the Mac, but nothing for Windows. Don't you guys like us anymore :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwstarkey Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Robin, When you get to it please fix 2 things... 1) when a grooming job can't reach a disk for some reason so often you have to do choices and mark the disk damaged just to cancel the operation. Ugh! otherwise it just hangs. 2) figure out why retrospect insists on backing up files that are identical just because they have been moved to a new disk. The disk should not matter. the files are the same. This is WITH the location does not matter option checked.

Richy_Boy Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Me too. Nothing more annoying than getting emailed MAC Retrosepct 8 updates when I'm a Windows user..! Having just read the development post, it's a shame that the existing GUI will be retained as it's one of the worst things about 7.6, but it does contain some new functionality (ESX) that might keep me hanging on until a full blown v8 is released. Hopefully using the new engine will get ride of some of the most frustrating 'features' of 7.6. I'd be interested to know if this will be a 'free' upgrade or a chargable one? If it IS chargable then I'll have to look at more advanced alternatives that can do block-level backups, handle multi-instances better and generally not thrash client machines to death whilst scanning and snap-shotting (all for 5mb of data at times). Where can we find _details_ on the 7.7 release? Rich Edited November 18, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Where can we find _details_ on the 7.7 release? Get serious. There isn't even a manual for the Retrospect 8 for Mac, now almost a year later after it was announced. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnpeters Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hopefully this isn't too off-topic. Since 7.7 seems to be delayed because of some disaster recovery issues, is Acronis True Image a reasonable temporary DR substitute? I'm very uncomfortable not having my Win 7 computers protected against the unthinkable. Thanks. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy_Boy Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) I've been looking at Acronis and it looks good. For us as a full network solution it seems incrediably expensive (i.e. £4000+ for 50 client licenses!). It also seems to be seperate products to provide SQL/Exchange backups. EMC networker also loks good, but I don't know about costs yet, I'm also becomming a big fan of linux and open source projects, so 'Amanda' also looks useful. Haven't researched either of these enough to know their limitations though. Rich Edited November 20, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
